It is unrealistic to try and avoid many of these problems as
they are in the workplace and everyday tasks, so it is
advisable to use protective gloves. As the rubber in most of
these gloves can make it worse, you should use the gloves
with cotton inners or buy a separate pair of thin breathable
cotton gloves to wear inside the rubber gloves. This will help
and avoid excessive sweating as well which can happen when
wearing the rubber gloves for a long time and lessen the
chance of an outbreak.
The appearance is the same as normal eczema and it is
treated the same as allergic contact eczema. Keeping the
hands moisturized to avoid as much cracking and splitting of
the skin is important. Try to find organic, chemical-free
barrier creams as steroid creams have been known to make
eczema worse in some people.
